Re: Accessing a URL with the ZIP engine

The contents of the file (referenced by the URL) is a zip-archive container, with a "CSV" file inside, which must be processed after retrieving from the foreign/remote site. Explore SAS 9.4 with the FILENAME ZIP engine, possibly, after retrieving the container file, using SAS FILENAME, PROC DOWNLOAD, possibly.

Re: Accessing a URL with the ZIP engine

I was naively hoping to wrap the URL into a Windows UNC, somehow, and use that as the 'external-file' physical name in the FILENAME statement. That way I could access the contents of the zip archive directly. Just a dream...
